Scott, Over the past 12 months I sent numerous emails trying to order one of his antennas. Gave up in the end as I never did get a reply.
In a word?....hopeless and I just figured he didn't like Aussie's...:-) I think you nailed it buddy, "Recipe for disaster" sounds about right to me. Oh, and I rolled my own verticals, added a heap of radials and I am satisfied with true vertical quarter wave monobanders now. Good luck and well wishef for those who try again again to get any service from Tom. Elecraft sure do spoil us eh? 73 On 21 April 2013 03:14, Scott Manthe <scott.man...@gmail.com> wrote: > Don, > Given the myriad of stories about Tom not answering email, why in the > world wouldn't you ask for his phone number?
